What happened to their "independent court" decision from a few months back?
Facebook's independent oversight board ruled Wednesday to uphold the company's January decision to suspend the Facebook and Instagram accounts of former President Donald Trump.
But, the board said, the indefinite time frame of the suspension "was not appropriate." The board effectively punted the decision on the length of the suspension back to Facebook, saying it "insists" the company "review this matter to determine and justify a proportionate response that is consistent with the rules that are applied to other users of its platform."
The board asked that Facebook complete the review within six months and made suggestions for how to create clear policies that balance public safety and freedom of expression.
No, that's gone for good. They made it clear it's permanent.
It's unclear if this is just a glitch or if Facebook reversed his ban all of a sudden.
People are just not interested in him anymore outside of his fanbase. They're not obligated to pay attention to him now.News media is rubbing their hands right now, their content machine is back!
I was always under the impression that Trump's twitter presence was more important than his facebook presence.
Pretty much this.
I hope you're right, but my fear is that social media (especially Twitter) could change that again.People are just not interested in him anymore outside of his fanbase. They're not obligated to pay attention to him now.
I don't think so. They sure didn't follow him off when he was booted from them. His profile plummeted to barely a tick.
Indeed, but the issue is the quick dissemination of his bullshit through these networks. Facebook has to be brought to heel.People are just not interested in him anymore outside of his fanbase. They're not obligated to pay attention to him now.
